The OPPO Reno 10 is the latest in the Reno series to launch in Kenya. This is the successor to the Reno8 T that we reviewed a few months back. We did not see the Reno9 in Kenya as that phone was primarily available in China. The Reno 10 is available in Kenya starting from Ksh 56,999, around the same price as the Reno8 T when it launched. I loved the Reno8 T and I am hoping the Reno10 is equally as good.  At its price, the OPPO Reno 10 is a direct competitor to devices such as the Samsung…

The Nokia C32 is available in Kenya starting from Ksh 16,500. You can get the phone online through Jumia, Gadgets Leo among other retailers. This is one of the latest from HMD Global to launch in Kenya. HMD Global has not been aggressive when pushing its smartphones in Kenya and thus you do not hear much about them and they do not sell that well too. It keeps getting difficult to recommend Nokia smartphones with much better devices offering better value for money. Manufacturers like Xiaomi, Realme, Infinix and Tecno have perfected their craft, outshining the likes of HMD Global. …

The Infinix Note 30 Pro was recently launched in Kenya and is available in retail stores for around Ksh 33,000. The price will vary depending on where you buy it from but this is what you generally should expect when buying this phone. Keep in mind that with the changes in customs and KRA demanding more money, there is limited stock and that means that the price might shoot up. Back to the phone, it is quite an upgrade compared to the previous Infinix Note. The Note 30 Pro supports faster 68W charging and even wireless charging. This is much…

There are not that many differences between the standard Camon 20 and the…
